If Campbell was going up a D like that today. i think we would have won 40-13

I'm a redskin fan but I'm not blind,Campbell has never had a game or come close to looking as good as Romo did last nite,Campbell consistently misses guys that are wide open,and he misses them badly,I dodnt know if he gets too excited when he sees them that wide open or what.I love Sellers,and maybe if he got more carries he could compare to Barber,but right now he doesnt

I don't know if it's just me or does anyone else notice that Romo's passes never hit anyone in the hands? I could be crazy, but sometimes I feel like his receivers make him look a lot better than he is. Like in nearly all of his passes last night it looked like some wobbly duck that people had to readjust to catch.

romo is not good(.)

A god damn joke. Both defenses are frigging sieves. IF we can get our passing game down we can kick both their asses.Get Cooley and Llyod involved and it will be fun. I am not impressed with our division as a whole so far. Skins and Philly look decent, but just that decent.

Romo is consistent, but they wont score like that against a good d, like ours!!!

Lorenz (or whatever the backup for NY is called) did one of the stupidest things I've seen today...

Sliding on 4th down! He's this huge guy and could have easily picked up the extra yard if he'd just kept going instead of acting like he's 5'11" 180 lbs.....

They both looked awful on defense. I thought our zone coverage was bad. So much for Wade Phillips freeing them up to play the way they're capable.

If you are speaking of the 'Skins zone coverage, you are absolutely correct. Man, they gave "seam" in zone coverage a whole new definition, and it wasn't good. Miami really tested Smoot as it seemed that they threw in his direction 98% of their passing plays.

I was disgusted with the Dallas Defense last night. And then a friend of mine reminded me of something. I'll bet you all will remember it:

Dallas defense overpowered in 35-16 loss

By TIM COWLISHAW / The Dallas Morning News

WASHINGTON – The Cowboys were hoping to turn back the clock a year, to repeat the opening-night success they had enjoyed against Washington. That victory had set the stage for a Super Bowl season.

Instead, the Cowboys turned the clock back too far.

For the first time since 1989, when the Cowboys endured a 1-15 nightmare of a season, Dallas' defense gave up five touchdowns. One came at the close of a back-breaking 99-yard drive in the third quarter as Washington dominated Dallas, 35-16, before 56,345 fans at RFK Stadium.

The date here was Sept 7, 1993 and the Redskins whooped our ass.

But it was also the year Dallas went 12-4 and won thier second consecutive Super Bowl title.

Now granted this is not the Cowboys of the 90's. But after week one I am certainly not painting a picture of doom and gloom for the remaining 15 games.

Completely different situation. Emmit was holding out then, I think. Dallas knew they were going to be good. They were defending Super Bowl Champs. In short the jury was not still out on that team the way it is on this one. I know one thing. If I'm playing the Cowboys, I'm going after Jaques Reeeves all day long. I have a friend who is an expert on the Broncos and he keeps telling me that Wade Phillips will be the best thing that ever happened to....The Redskins.

[sandtrapjack]

That may very well be, but I fail to see what Emmit holding out would have to do with the defense surrendering 5 TD's.

And BTW, for the record, the Redskins are the best thing to happen to the Broncos. They are loving all those draft picks that have been traded to them over the last few years!

And starting next week, Reeves will only be in on nickel packages as Newman will be playing. And the one interception the Cowboys got last night was by Reeves.

I fail to see what the accomplishments of a team that won three Super Bowls in four years have to do with the prospects of a team that hasn't won a playoff game since who knows when.

You didn't like your D. Well how will the loss of Ferguson make you better?

We had better improve the intermediate passing defense (10-15 yards downfield) if that is going to be true. I'm also curious to see what our d line does against a "varsity" offensive line. We were constantly pushing the line of scrimmage back against Miami, Dallas and NY? We'll see.

Kiawanuka (sp?) is a liability on pass plays. Cooley should (and will) abuse him consistently.

They both did look good tonight, we are gonna have to work on our game if we expect to compete with them in the East this season.
